The Today Show host and meteorologist Al Roker was replaced by Jacob Soboroff
this week. With Al out at the show, fans were intrigued by his replacement.
Here’s what we know about Jacob Soboroff and why Al is out at The Today Show.


AL’S TROUBLE IN THE STUDIO

Recently, Al Roker has been getting himself into trouble in the studio.

This week, Al fired off a sarcastic joke at the expense of NBC sportscaster Mike
Tirico. Mike was calling into the studio from Paris, where he’s covering the
network’s Countdown to Paris 2024 segment. It’s all centered on the upcoming
Summer Olympics and the hype building around it. While talking about the
building excitement, Mike mentioned that he has dined with the Mayor of Paris
and the head of the International Olympics Committee. Al decided that Mike was
bragging, and mocked him by saying, “Oh, look at me I'm Mike Tirico ooh Lala."
Mike politely reminded Al that he was just sharing information. Al may have
laughed after Mike’s rejoinder, but it was clear that the sportscaster got the
better of him.





Then on Thursday, things got tense between Al and co-host Craig Melvin. They
were hosting a travel segment on Wednesday, and the studio’s video display
didn’t sync correctly with what their guest was talking about. Instead of
showing an indoor water park like it was supposed to, the video monitor showed
someone jet skiing on the ocean. Al quipped, “That’s a huge water park.” And
Craig snapped at him, “Shut up.” Fans have speculated that Craig’s clap back may
have been revenge for Al’s comment last week when he called co-worker Dylan
Dreyer a “cheapskate.”

On Thursday, Al was out of the studio.




AL ROKER REPLACED AT TODAY BY JACOB SOBOROFF

Al Roker was outside enjoying the NBC show’s first-ever epic “summer block
party.”

Filling in for him in the studio was Jacob Soboroff. Jacob is a widely respected
journalist and former MSNBC correspondent. While Al was out cavorting for the
summer block party, Jacob was the perfect fill-in. He has experience with
engaging journalism and storytelling. And Jacob has been noted for his diligent
coverage of the immigration crisis on the US and Mexican border.




Jacob also authored a book, “Separated: Inside an American Tragedy,” on the
topic. If anyone can fill in for Al’s legendary shoes and bring some peace to
the studio while he’s out, Jacob is the one.

Did you enjoy it when Al Roker was out of the studio? And do you think Jacob
Soboroff was a good replacement? Let us know what you think about the host
lineup, and who should be in our out. Then catch The Today Show crew on NBC on
weekday mornings at 7 AM EST.

The Philadelphia 76ers and Doc Rivers parted ways after three seasons in the
City of Brotherly Love. He led the Sixers to their first No. 1 seed in 20 years
in the 2020-21 season and he compiled an overall record of 154-82 in those three
years in Philadelphia.

The Sixers have since moved on as they brought in Nick Nurse to replace Rivers.
Nurse is looking to help get the Sixers over the hump in an overly competitive
Eastern Conference and get the most out of the roster.

While the Sixers have moved forward, it appears that Rivers is next as it looks
like he will join ESPN’s broadcast team for the NBA.

Per The New York Post:




> ESPN is closing in on promoting Doris Burke to the NBA Finals, hiring Doc
> Rivers to join her and jettisoning Mark Jackson to the “B” team or off the
> network, The Post has learned.
> 
> In the wake of Jeff Van Gundy’s firing in late June, ESPN set their eyes on
> making Burke the first woman TV analyst on the NBA Finals and hiring Rivers to
> join Hall of Fame play-by-player Mike Breen.
> 
> The deals are not finalized, but are quickly moving in that direction.

Rivers has experience as a broadcaster during the 2003-04 season. After the
Orlando Magic stumbled to a 1-10 record out of the gate, Rivers was fired by the
Magic before he went into broadcasting. He was then hired by the Boston Celtics
before the 2004-05 season.
